Little One

Little one, little one, I held you in my womb,

Little one, little one, for you my heart has room.

Firstfruits of my only love,

Sweetest gift from God above,

Little one, my darling babe, you are my treasure.

Little one, little one, with smallest hands and toes,

Little one, little one, with tiny ears and nose,

God, He fashioned every part,

For Him keep a tender heart,

Little one, my darling babe, you are my treasure.

Little one, little one, I laugh to see you play,

Little one, little one, oh learn to work and pray.

As you’re growing, I’ll grow too,

As you learn I’ll learn with you,

Little one, my darling babe, you are my treasure.

Little one, little one, the days are hast’ning on,

Little one, little one, soon you’ll be grown and gone.

take to heart the words I teach,

In your life the Gospel preach,

You’ll always be my darling babe; you are my treasure.
